Very basic question. Assume a voltage divider where both divider resistors are equal value, i.e. 100K. If 48v is the applied voltage, it's easy to see that we'll measure 24v across the "load resistor". However, when we add a load in parallel with the load resistor, doesn't this parallel circuit reduce the total resistance across the load resistor causing the output voltage to be less than the desired 24v? Thanks for enlightening a non-engineer!
